It happens every now and again during the winter. Last winter, it was the most snow I have ever seen in my life. I can deal with a bit of snow for occuing for about a week during some winters.

Not trying to be adversarial, just offering you some "food for thought".

Dave

Please do be adversarial.

I stated, in my introduction thread, that I do not consider myself to be any nationality at all. I am not English. I have no allegiance to any nation or any state.

I dont not intend on escaping the system altogether... Just a little bit. Furthermore, I am an anarchist. My political ideology is something that I have avoided mentioning until now because I did not wish to be pre-judged on the basis of the usual misconceptions.

I will not discuss anarchism on this thread. If you wish to discuss anarchism I will happily do so on another thread.

Land is far more expensive here than it is where you are. I am poor. I also dont wish to wait for a long time because my immediate personal situation is something that is pushing me in this direction.
